Pros

Dropin multiplayer for campaign battles.
Elegant and historically detailed campaign.
The death of a general will affect you personally.
Captures Napoleon and his era.

Cons

No relation between the individual campaigns.
Bad AI.
Feels like a re-skinned Empire.
The AI must have flunked out of the military academy.
You can win some battles by exploiting the timer.
